Well, at least we're stocked up on beef jerky.

We managed to dodge the worst impact of Hurricane Isaac. I wish I could say the same for folks west of us. Having lived through a few hurricanes and tropical storms, I really sympathize with the victims of Isaac. People are still battling the storm and they are in our thoughts and prayers.

Our little panhandle, on the other hand, only had a lot of wind and rain. There are a few scattered areas of flooding, but for the most part, we made it through completely fine.

The surf along the Gulf of Mexico was incredible. It looked like someone took a big ole' spoon and just stirred it up with water lapping onto roadways, boardwalks, and roadways. The water out there is powerful and the huge waves are a reminder that it should be respected.

On a lighter note, we are fully equipped for the next storm or any other emergency which requires canned tuna, chicken, soup and bottled water. Oh, and let's not forget peanut butter. I believe anyone could survive for weeks on end with a jar of peanut butter and a spoon. (At least, that's what I tell myself when I eat it from the jar.)

What about y'all? Any of you dealing with the storm? We'll keep you in our prayers.

I'm glad you guys are ok! I was looking at a map today, but I couldn't really figure out what was happening where (not to mention that I don't really know where you live, exactly - & aren't you glad of that?).

We MIGHT get some rain here in central Ohio - and that's what I'm praying for. A night gully washer all weekend would be fabulous.

About Me

Born and raised in Georgia, I love the South. Now I live in the Florida panhandle, fondly known as the Redneck Riveria, with my husband, daughter, and crazy mutt of a dog. I love Jesus,my family, the smell of rain on the hot pavement, rocky road ice cream, and the softness of kitten paws.
